Every Woman Florida

Recently, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) issued a Committee Opinion on the importance of preconception care in the continuum of women’s healthcare which states that,

“all women of reproductive age should receive education and screening on an on-going basis to identify potential maternal and fetal risks and hazards to pregnancy before and between pregnancies.”
(ACOG Committee Opinion #313, September 2005)

• The goal is to improve the integration of preconception health within all clinical settings.
• It is our hope that each time a woman of childbearing age enters the clinical setting, she will be assessed for identified risks and provided with services or interventions that will promote her attaining optimal health.
